Argh - For the 20th time over the last 3 years: CAN
SOMEBODY PLEASE PUT A DONATION FORM ON THE
WIKIDOWN PAGE!!!
When I am finally successful at wheedling the secret method of updating the
error pages from the unpaid volunteers who run the cache servers, we'll see what
we can do.
Also, if we have a donation form, then these outages
would be mostly self-correcting since the
extra revenue will help us to add more redundancy to the system so we can at least go
read only
until we are completely back up.
It generally is considered to look very bad, though: "begging for money" or
"holding the site ransom".
